Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 pound) bone-in turkey breast
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon

Directions

  1. Place turkey breast in a shallow baking pan; coat the outside of the turkey with nonstick cooking spray. Tuck onion and celery underneath in the breast cavity. Combine seasonings; rub over turkey. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 185 degrees F, basting every 30 minutes. Remove turkey and keep warm. For gravy, combine flour and water in a saucepan until smooth. Add pan drippings and bouillon. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil for 2 minutes. Slice turkey; serve with gravy.
